Harman Kardon - Luna

If stereo is not necessary then h/k Luna is a great portable option with great sound quality. Jbl flip 7 is also decent but battery life is pretty mediocre. If stereo is needed Anker soundcore motion 300 is great for its price with decent stereo seperation and volume.

Harman Kardon Luna and Go+Play, both. And if you can 2 moons better

Knowing both well, and considering that in Chile you find onix for about 120 dollars and luna for 80, on sale, I lean towards luna. I sold onyx to have 2 lunas and it is more detailed, less bass but sufficient. Onyx sounds good only at +60 volume Onyx more power and bass, moon more clarity in sound... If you listen to Onyx loudly, but 2 Luna surpasses it, if you listen to 40 or 50% Luna more detail...

If you gonna keep it inside go for the HK the minirig seems to be an outdoor speaker if it was me I would go for the Harman Kardon Luna.

Harman Kardon Luna is the best buy 2 pair them up they sound awesome

H/K sound just hits the spot. I tested the H/K Luna against the Bose soundlink flex 2 and the Luna sounded way better

I know that is what I find crazy, but I compared 1:1 side by side same tracks and bose sounded clearer in the highs but the bass and mids goes clearly to the luna imo. Luna sounds way warmer and fuller. It takes up more of the room. I listen to bass heavy music so the luna was my fav pick between the two.

Harmon Kardon Luna sounds very very good as a TV speaker. I use it for my bedroom TV and vocals are extremely clear and it goes loud.

I just picked one up on sale. And out of the box I say that the sound quality is very very good. It will eventually sound better once you break it in. I'm confident that this does sound better than the JBL charge 5 that many said online.

Ive been enjoying the Luna for 4 days now and I love the sound from it. But also having many JBL Bluetooth speakers. I can tell you that there's no way that the Luna is waterproof or dustproof to the extent of the JBL speakers. I mean look at the back of the Luna, the USB-C port isn't even gasket sealed lol. The port is completely exposed. And this is supposed to be dust and waterproof? Lol ya right. I have a lot less confidence in the fabric material on the Luna than on any JBL. Luckily I'm using my Luna strictly as a TV speaker so it will stay inside all the time. But there's no way that this compares to JBL speakers for rugged build quality.

Does the HK Luna charge and play at the same time?

I was going to do this but I read on here that they dont automatically pair with each other when you turn both on. This was a deal breaker for me. So I just use one Luna.

I'll probably recommend Luna this time. It's less aggressive than the others mentioned. 

Grab yourself a Harman Kardon Luna

I have both and honestly they sound pretty similar, mainly just a different in size. The tuning feels almost the same. If you want deep room shaking bass, go for Onyx 6, at the cost of some portability but Onyx 6 isn’t bad to carry around either. The handle is great. I love my Onyx 6 but I end up using the Luna more since it’s smaller and still has surprisingly solid bass for its size. Obviously it can’t match the Onyx 6 in volume or room filling sound, but up close on my desk it sounds great

Harman Kardon Luna, Apple Beats Pill 2024, Bose Flex 2 Gen ? By pair to have stereo (Yes, more money 😬), I ranked them by preference. I use daily (at low volume with a nice 'kick' if you know what I mean) 2 Pill + 2 Luna, paired all together 😍 The Pill can go lower (56 Hz) while the Luna only 60 Hz and it show in rendition but the Luna's are wider in soundstage. The bass are worse on Bose Flex 2 Gen since it can't go lower than \~64Hz while only going up to 18kHz, the other 2 are up until 20 kHz. If affect the rendition and when compared ear by ear, it's 'hearable' ? Yet if you don't compare them, they all sound more than okay. I couldn't just do it with a mono sound, 2 paired placed strategically render way much than just one speaker, even bigger. And while some HK Go+Play 3 seems nice, it only offer SBC for example, in 2025 HK should offer AAC or even LDAC. At low volume it wouldn't be so pleasant I think, I only have a Onyx Studio in this 'range' to compare. What is the budget / are from if I can ask? Perhaps the genre listened too, or if it varies much like me 😬

The Luna can be found on Amazon for about €112 ATM, that's a fair price considering the 179 originally asked. There is some con though, only down to 60 Hz as mentionned and also only SBC, no app support meaning no EQ except if you use one before sending the sound. No jack either nor USB C Audio, which the Beats Pill provide and is a nice feature to have. The HK Luna in the US offer the USB Audio btw, same on others models, JBL said it was due to some licences. Great in Europe to have same price and limited features 😭 I found the Pill for €100 when in sales a few weeks back, but that's an indoor speaker given the grille, one drop and it's dented haha. Don't get me wrong, they both sound great; but I prefer them in pair since most speaker are mono and not stereo from the start, the sound will sound 'tiny'. As for the [Earfun](https://www.myearfun.com/speakers/earfun-uboom-l-portable-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers-black) mentionned by someone esle, I was hesitant too because of the low price on the site, way cheaper than Amazon and for 2 it'll be only €80. Since the return isn't free like on Amazon and since I couldn't find the range, asked Perplexity and found [Rtings](https://www.rtings.com/speaker/reviews/earfun/uboom-l) which resume by : >The EarFun UBOOM® L Bluetooth speaker has a tested frequency response range of approximately 74.4Hz (low-frequency extension) to 16.3kHz (high-frequency extension). This means it starts to roll off below 74Hz in the bass and doesn't reproduce the deepest sub-bass, while the treble extends up to about 16.3kHz.  So, in rendition, the low bass from EDM and some techno or dub step will sound dull on it. And given they can't seem to go higher than 16.3kHz, it'll lack a bit in that area. Hence why I didn't purchased, there is some video on youtube comparing one vs a Denon Envaya which was way better in rendition, it can be heard :) In that price range, you might consider Xiaomi ASM02 (€60 on Amazon, 360° 40W and app support) but a little bit too much emphasized on the high/treble, there is also the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor (nop app support/EQ) which is about €40 each, mono sound of 30W but less treble, more boomy, kinda a JBL Flip 6 and sometimes better imho (I have 2 along with one 40W 🤭) I don't plan to spend more than €100 on a bluetooth speaker that are SBC only and/or without any battery swappable capability. When the battery is dead, so is the speaker, kinda if it's not easily remplacable :)

You should search on Rtings it was my way of doing it it using google search with the name of the speaker, add Rtings and using the google traduction feature to bypass the 10 article/month limitation. Private nagivation will do the trick too haha. Feel free to listen some JBL or Harman or Marshal perhaps in store if you have the occasion. Perhaps you find one disturbing in some area or one that'll please your ear like I have with my Luna's. Perhaps it's because I listened a lot on my Onyx Studio before haha, and wanted something more portable / 'hideable', yet powerful. The bass are better on the Onyx Studio, mais it's not a speaker made to low to moderate volume per se :) I hope you'll find one or ones in stereo that suits you haha :)
